    I think a week or two is more than enough, especially with EXP share.

    I don't know where everyone is in the game at the moment, but I know it takes about two~three hours for me to EV train and level a Pokemon to 70 in Y, so I'd say about a week should be fine.

    How do you do that?

    Also, I was thinking two weeks mostly because people have different schedules, so I was thinking this could allow people to end up around equal despite that.

    Go to Restaurant Le Wow. Turn on Exp. Power 3, enter one of the battles.

    Since you go straight from battle to battle and never get a chance to pause, the Exp. Power has no chance to turn off until you complete all five battles. Since they all carry Pokémon around level 65, you get huge Experience from these fights when they're all under Exp. Power 3.

    Then you just reap the rewards.

    If you have Prize Money Power 3 on and a Pokémon with the Amulet Coin, it will actually more than pay for itself without even needing to sell the Balm Mushrooms you get, so you can ignore the Turn Goals, if you want.

    ...Which is why I now have 999 Balm Mushrooms.



    I agree that we need at least two weeks due to the possibility of scheduling conflicts.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    How can I get those powers? And that sounds insanely quick! I'll probably try it out as long as I get that power!

    Also, regarding scheduling, while I'll open our official thread on Saturday, I'm gonna start counting down the two weeks once everyone has their eggs, so that it's fair and everyone has an equal amount of time to invest in their pokes.

    O Powers in XY are obtained from Mr. Bonding. He's usually located in the hotels you pass on your journey. Exp. Point Power is obtained from the Anistar City Hotel. Prize Money Power is obtained in the Cyllage City Hotel. In ORAS, you get them all from the Pokémon Center in Mauville City if you talk to the NPCs inside after major story milestones.

    O Powers are used from the PSS. They take a self-renewing resource called "Energy" to use. Energy replenishes naturally over time, and the rate at which it replenishes increases based on the step count of your 3DS system. So walking around with your system makes it replenish much faster. Before you take any steps, Energy replenishes at a rate of 1 Node every four minutes, I think? While if you've walked around at least 4000 steps that day, it's 1 Node every minute, which is much better.

    To level up O Powers, you need to use them a lot. 15 uses gets you to level 2, and 30 gets you to level 3. It's cheaper to use lower levels, but not as Energy efficient, and not as strong. It's also cheaper to use them on other people than to use them on yourself.

    Also, regarding scheduling, while I'll open our official thread on Saturday, I'm gonna start counting down the two weeks once everyone has their eggs, so that it's fair and everyone has an equal amount of time to invest in their pokes.
    Don't forget we need to have the hatch and share section, where everyone shares what they've gotten.

    in the battles the lvls will be reduced to lvl 50, right?
    as for the training: i will not get it done within a week. i dont know all the tricks and i dont have that much time for it.
    besides, there is no need to rush this imo. and im not someone to hardcore grind the levels. ill get tired of it if i have to do it for hours in a row

    i probably missed it somewhere: but

    If you want a room for this on IRC, it's easy enough for anyone to make it and join. #pokenerdsunite or something. It is just a case of typing /j #roomname and hey presto.

    I'll begin the distribution on Saturday, yes. It'll end whenever it needs to end, since it might be difficult to do it all in one day, considering we're all in different timezones. The two-week countdown will begin once everyone has their eggs.

    So yeah, two days to go, people! If you haven't signed up yet, this is your chance!
